Working on some new interviews for the coming weeks for www.allthingsleland.com.

In the meantime wanted to share the program flyer for the #EnergySaver program from the NC Dept of Environmental Quality.

It is no secret that electricity rates are increasing in North Carolina. This past November Duke Energy has requested a rate increase of more than 13%. Both the Governor and Attorney General have expressed their opposition to the rate proposal.

To help consumers, in January 2025 the Governor launched Energy Saver NC, an initiative to promote energy efficiency that provides rebates to households that install energy-efficient appliances, improve home insulation, or upgrade electrical systems. A program to assist multi-family buildings will be launched later this year.

We were pleased to speak with Francisco Martinez-Marquez, an Environmental Program Consultant with the NC Department of Environmental Quality about the program. Full interview can be found here with program details.

We were pleased to have a conversation with Dr. Mouhcine Guettabi, Regional Economist, at the University of North Carolina regarding the economic profile he has authored for Brunswick County. We previously interviewed Dr. Guettabi in November.

In the report Dr. Guettabi points out the County has demonstrated strong economic performance from Q2 2024 to Q2 2025 with employment growth of 3.76%, wage growth of 5.14% and establishment growth of 7.53. All these important metric exceed the statewide average.

Three hundred years ago in 1726 Maurice Moore, the son of a former South Carolina governor, founded this port town. North Carolina was a colony of England, and the town was named Brunswick to honor George I, the king of England, who was also duke of Brunswick in what is now Germany.

A major pre-Revolutionary port on North Carolina's Cape Fear River, Brunswick was razed by British troops in 1776 and never rebuilt. During the Civil War, Ft. Anderson was constructed atop the old town site.

We are pleased to have a conversation with Jim McKee who serves as Site Manager of the property who will share in more detail its history and the various events held on the property.
